We know that some of you have been personally touched by the horrific events in Las Vegas. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the tragedy and we join the country in mourning their loss. The images from the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history are difficult to view, and it’s even more difficult to imagine the pain and anguish being experienced by the families and loved ones of the victims.
